Imminent domain grievances will be a big expense.

If $25 billion is correct so what. That's half of what Obama gave to Iran, a country that wants nothing more than to nuke us. AND nuke us with bombs made with uranium that Hillary sold to Russia, who turned around and sold the uranium to Iran.
But Russia may or may not have "influenced" our election.
The left needs to be exterminated.
Sorry, rant over

I hope diamond studded rebar is going in there

$12.8 million per mile = the wall just got about 10 feet taller!
I'll support a massive wall above and below ground. I wouldn't want it to be cheap and ineffective

It might make it through but it will be a hard fight. The Wall isn't politically popular with all GOP constituencies.

Any guesses on how long it will take to finish? I say 7 years
No one knows. I read an article today that estimated 16 years
Article also stated it would cost $700 a year to maintain.

They are basing it on old government spending habits where all of the senators had to be paid about 10 million each in the contract.

We also have two small Indian reservations and Arizona has a big one. That's gonna be a shitshow.

This is one of the most common blind spots in people's assumptions about BUILDWALL

A 15% tax on money sent to Mexico and a 5% tariff on imports from Mexico would bring in over $12b a year alone.
That's $48b in 4 years so there's room for overages.
Let's not forget that the Feds run budget deficits of $500b in a single year like its nothing.

How do you figure. Build the wall to the north of them. They'll beg you to build it to their south.
